Zusammenfassung:
The article discusses the perfectionism concept in various aspects of human activity, which is of
great interest to both foreign and domestic scholars. This interest can be explained by the high pace of
life, social changes, growing competition, the cult of rationality and the desire for perfection that prevails
in modern society. Modern psychologists interpret the term “эperfectionism” as an individual’s desire to
improve himself or herself and achieve perfection in all areas of activity. Perfectionism manifests in
setting excessively high-performance standards, accompanying this practice with critical self-evaluations
and anxiety about the judgements of others. In the context of professional activities, it can contribute to
success and lead to burnout and reduced productivity. Research on this topic helps to understand how
perfectionistic tendencies shape personality and professional strategies, like their impact on mental health.
Perfectionism has a significant effect on the efficiency and effectiveness of professional activities. Most
researchers believe it hurts professional performance, leading to decreased productivity, chronic fatigue,
self-dissatisfaction, procrastination, burnout syndrome, and fear of failure. However, some scholars point
to positive aspects of perfectionism that contribute to personal development. Prospects for further
research focus on an empirical analysis of the impact of perfectionism on professional activities, which
may help to identify new ways to support mental health and work performance.
